The old sources (all the way back to 0.9.80) are available at 
http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/.  That archive is also linked 
from the main download page.

As for binary packages, that's really a question for downstream maintainers to 
decide.  For Broadcast Appliance, we maintain an archive of past RPM packages 
for our support customers.

Something like this already happens with the current version.  Every RD 
component checks the DB version at startup; if it's not as expected, it will 
exit with an error.  The only exception is RDAdmin where, if it finds a 
database with a version prior to what it wants, it will offer to update it.

Cheers!
